MAMA JULIES, CARRIBEAN HEAT

BACON SALSA from MAMA JULIES, CARRIBEAN HEAT.. The tomato flavor is fresh, delicious and a true to life taste of bacon with hints of jalapeno and garlic. There are not many ingredients in this salsa, but nothing more is needed. Bacon salsa says it all. We not only devoured this salsa on chips but we loved it with our eggs and on a burger. This would be amazing on nachos, tacos, or even on a salad. I'm sure you will find many ways to enjoy this fresh tasting bacon salsa as we did. There is almost no heat to this salsa so anyone can eat it up. Enjoy!

SPICY from MY SALSA.. At first taste I knew this was a quality salsa. The blend of flavors were just right, from the tomato, jalapeno, red and yellow onions along with a hint of the apple cider vinegar and the sweetness of the carrots. It has a true pepper flavor coming from four differnt peppers (jalapeno, cubanelle, banana and poblano) with just the right amount of spices from the salt, turmeric, chilli powder, cayenne powder, cumin and basil. It has a very fresh taste that blends together perfectly. I really enjoy these salsas! You will definitely love the amazing fresh flavor of all the My Salsas!

GHOST PEPPER from MY SALSA.. Starting out with the same fresh ingredients and flavor as their Spicy Salsa with the addition of the ghost pepper. I get a bit of a roasted flavor at the end that adds to it's deliciousness. This is the hottest in the My Salsa line but be sure to check them all out! A nice refreshing salsa with a homemade taste.

SEARED PINEAPPLE & GINGER from LITTLE DIABLO SALSA.. With an even amount of fresh flavor coming from the pineapple and tomato, followed by the ginger, onion, garlic and jalapeno. This mixture is just perfect, making this an exciting and delicious semisweet salsa. Many other jar salsas may come across heavy and over done but not Little Diablo, it has a light refreshing flavor that tastes like it just came out of your kitchen. The pineapple and ginger work very well together in this salsa and found it goes great on hamburgers! This is a mild salsa that anyone can enjoy. Very refreshing, great job!

HOT from LITTLE DIABLO SALSA.. Once again Little Diablo comes across fresh and light tasting. Hot has a great tomato flavor with the heat and flavor of the jalapeno, Hungarian, habanero, red hot and cayenne peppers. Then you get a nice freshness with the addition of onions, green pepper, celery seed, basil and a slight taste of vinegar. You will definitely love digging into this jar again and again. Just like it says on the label "If you didn't know it came from a jar, you wouldn't know it came from a jar" I have to say, I totally agree because you still get that fresh taste along with the crunch of the vegetables in every bite. Fantastic!

GOURMET COOKING SALSA from 1ST SGT SALSA.. First off let me say I'm very proud to bring you 1st Sgt Salsa because of the reason Scott Weatherly started this company. Scott is a disabled veteran and cancer survivor that wanted to help his fellow disabled veterans. A portion of sales goes to the many organizations that help our disabled veterans and people suffering from cancer. Thank you Scott for your service and all you do. I received his medium, medium/hot and hot salsas. They all have huge chunks of 13 different vegetables, plus 11 spices. All organic, no additives, no preservatives, no GMO/Gluten and is MSG free. It's a delicious experience because the big chunks of vegetables gives you a different flavor in every bite. All three have the same flavor with three different heat levels. The thing I love the most is the fresh flavors that can used as a cooking sauce to start a great spaghetti or chili. I also received three of 1st Sgt Salsa's glaze products and they are fantastic! Habinaro peach, habinaro apricot and bourbon pineapple, all amazing! There are numerous ways you could use these glazes, from fish, chicken, anything on the grill or use them as a dipping sauce. Check out all the great products on their website and learn more about what great things they are doing at 1st Sgt Salsa. Please help Scott, help others.

GHOST PEPPER SALSA from TODD'S.. First off let me say bravo to Todd's! This is Todd's best salsa I've tried so far. A fantastic fresh tomato taste with lots of garlic along with the flavors of onion, green pepper, the right amount of salt, black pepper and a hint of cumin and vinegar. I could not stop eating it until the burn from the ghost pepper got to be to much. (and of course I ate more) The ghost pepper adds the heat but doesn't over power the flavor with to much ghost pepper flavor. This is defiantly an extremely hot salsa but even though the heat level is high the flavor stays with you to the end. You will be surprised at how fresh a jar of salsa can be once you have tried this one from Todd's. If you love a tomato salsa that hits back then this ones for you.

SCORCHED GRILLED SALSA from TEXAS BUTTER.. Here's a new one from Shawn, the master mind behind Texas Butter. This salsa starts out with the same great flavor as TEXAS BUTTER'S RED, but, the extra ingredients kicks in to treat your taste buds to something special. You get the smoky flavor of the jalapeno with the mix of cilantro, onion and bit of vinegar. Just that little difference makes this salsa stand on its own. Great combination Shawn! I finished the entire bottle in one sitting!

RED from TEXAS BUTTER.. With this flask shaped bottle you can slip this salsa into your back pocket and take the great flavor with you anywhere. When you first taste this salsa you get hit with tomato, jalapeno then the bell pepper with a linger of the garlic and onion. Then you taste their dry rub spice flavor that adds a new dimension to the traditional salsa flavor. When your ordering anything from Texas Butter be sure to add this unique tasting salsa. I can't stop eating it.

TODD'S HOT SALSA from TODD'S.. After tasting Todd's Inner Beauty hot sauce, I knew that their salsa would be just as good, and I was right. The flavors of tomato, onion, green pepper, jalapeno, garlic and the rest of the ingredients makes this a delicious salsa that everyone will enjoy. Nothing is over done or left out when tasting this salsa. Great consistency that isn't too chunky or runny. Even though it says hot on the label, I feel it's more of a mild. But that by no means is a negative. Great flavor and wonderful blend. Check out all of Todd's salsa flavors on their website. With all the different flavors of salsa they have, you'll want to order more than one!

TODD'S PINEAPPLE SALSA from TODD'S.. This salsa from Todd's is a award winning salsa. It took first place at the 2016 Zest Fest in Dallas and after tasting it I can see why. It starts out just like their hot but with one big exception, and that's the addition of the pineapple. What a great job adding the sweetness of the pineapple and not over doing it. You get the taste of the pineapple without taking over the acid of the tomato or the bite of the jalapeno. (I did get just a little more heat level in this salsa). On a personal note I could rate this a little higher in taste because I love pineapple, but to be fare I will rate it the same because it's just as fantastic as the hot. I ate the entire jar in one setting. Guess it's time to order more!

EMPEROR SCORPION SALSA fromPEPPER PALACE.. If you like a HOT salsa with a great tomato taste, well this one is for you. This has very simple ingredients with only tomatoes, vinegar, onion, garlic, scorpion peppers, salt, black pepper and celery seed (just like how I make it fresh out of my garden). But that is really all it needs to make a great tasting salsa. Nothing fancy just awesome tasting and lots of heat. I couldn't stop eating it. The heat is hot but it seemed to get even hotter when I was done. Pepper Palace has done a fantastic job making a hot and very flavorful salsa. The garlic and onion are a great match to the taste of the scorpion pepper flavor.

LAID BACK JACK, SIESTA FIESTA, FLIRTING FLAME from MR.SAUCY.. All three of these salsas start out with the same great taste. They would make a great all around sauce for everyone. A great blend of tomatoes, green chilies, corn, onion and garlic with the heat from the Serrano and red habanero peppers. You get a hint of fresh lime and the smoke from the chipotle pepper. Added in is the sweetness from the red bell pepper and a little sugar. The big difference in these three, is the heat levels. There is a slight taste differences for the extra amount of hot peppers added in each one. You will defiantly enjoy these salsas from Mr. Saucy. These are by far better then national salsa brands.

TEQUILA GREEN SALSA byVAN ROEHLING SAUCES AND RUBS. Here is a great tasting salsa that has some serious heat without killing the great flavor. This salsa has jalapeno peppers, tequila, onions, salt, garlic and spices. I love the fact that it has the hint of tequila. But don't think if you don't like tequila you would like this salsa, I'm sure you will. The jalapeno peppers have a real fresh taste and that great pepper heat.​TASTE. 8 OUT OF 10 HEAT 8 OUT OF 10 www.vrsauce.comCLICK HERE FOR INTERVIEW WITH VAN HIMSELF

OLYMPUS FARE SALSA

APHRODITE, ZEUS, ATHENA, HADES from OLYMPUS FARE SALSA.. All four of these salsas are fresh. They are made weekly and delivered to local grocery stores or cold shipped over night to your door. The flavor of these salsas tell the tale of only fresh ingredients. Fantastic! APHRODITE, ZEUS, and HADES starts off with the same fresh ingredients. Tomatoes, apple cider vinegar, green peppers, sweet red peppers, sweet orange peppers, sweet yellow peppers, lime juice, cilantro, sea salt, jalapenos and black pepper.

ZEUS adds habanero peppers for added heat.

HADES adds serrano peppers and habanero peppers for even more heat.

ATHENA is a roasted verde salsa. This is different from a normal verde sauce because of the roasting of all the fresh ingredients. Roasted tomatillos, onions, roasted garlic, white balsamic vinegar, roasted serranos, roasted jalapenos, sea salt, lime juice and roasted habanero. A fantastic twist on a verde style sauce.

OLYMPUS FARE SALSA has a salsa for any taste or occasion. Excellent job Dan and Stacy.
